Is there a YAML test suite?

Question

A comprehensive test suite would be a valuable tool to have, especially when evaluating all of the variant parsers out there. Does such a beast exist?

In a perfect world, I imagine it would have different sections for different versions of the YAML spec...

Answer 1

There is currently one in the making, see here.

We also generate a result matrix for YAML implementations which

• we know of
• are written in a language we know so we can implement adapter code to validate the test suite against it

Full disclosure: I am the author of NimYAML and some of the test cases and adapters.
